The Jordanian Armed Forces reported that Iran fired 13 ballistic missiles which crossed into Jordanian airspace, with 10 intercepted by Jordanian defenses and three landing in unpopulated areas. No casualties were reported. The incident underscores the widening regional fallout from the confrontation between Iran and Israel, with neighboring states now being drawn into direct exposure to Iranian missile fire. Jordan has previously assisted in intercepting Iranian projectiles bound for Israel, and this latest incident suggests Tehran's barrages are increasingly threatening its Arab neighbors as well. Officials have not yet indicated whether the missiles were intended for Jordanian targets or were stray fire from a broader assault aimed at Israel. BreakFirst will continue to follow developments as more details emerge from regional military sources.
